My box of Hefe Weizen from Germany (one)

A couple of weeks ago a wrote "I am so sick of gold hoppy English beers, that I have bought a box of 23 assorted wheat beers from Germany, that I will be reviewing soon.", well I have started them and so far they are great. I will review them a few at a time, as I have them, although I do not have the skill to do the best for them.

Arcobräu, Weissbier Hell from Germany

 

5.3% cloudy cold colour with a good head, slightly smoky banana aroma and a classic wheat beer taste. This is an old photo but it was also in the box I bought.

Wolferstetter Bräu, Export Hefe Weizen from Germany

 

5.5% cloudy gold in colour with a thin head, usual yeasty aroma and that nice banana and yeast taste.
